Mathilde Chauvet

I am a French painter based in Germany since 2013. Married and a mother of four children, I now devote as much time as possible to my lifelong passion: painting. A self-taught artist, I have been drawing and painting since childhood — colors and images have always been vital companions in my life.

Working primarily with acrylics, I create on canvas or paper. My subjects often reflect my connection to nature: landscapes, seascapes, botanical details, travel memories and urban scenes. My style blends figurative, contemporary, and impressionist influences, shaped by deep observation and emotional resonance with the natural world.

My artistic journey has taken various paths. When my children were young, I specialized in children’s illustration, creating a poetic and magical universe. My work depicted a world of fairy tales and legends. I have exhibited my work and collaborated with children on art projects inspired by these themes.

After a pause due to family, professional responsibilities, and a move to Germany, I’ve returned to painting with renewed vision and commitment. I am now eager to share my art beyond borders, and to connect with an international audience.
